The Truth of Magic

Chapter 141: Stacking skills (1/2)

Views:

Zhao Xu had heard that Lu and Ying had analyzed that the three of them might be illusions, so when he saw the three of them, his concentration was heightened to the extreme.

The three mages had basically disheveled hair, and their robes were even more miserable than those of Zhao Xu and others. They had already had several big holes ripped open by the thorns.

Zhao Xu immediately raised his hand, preparing to cast spells on these inexplicable creatures.

But the three mages who were busy escaping for their lives suddenly opened their eyes wide when they saw Zhao Xu and the others, as if they saw something unbelievable.

The legs of the three people that had been moving so hard were as if they were weak, and they fell to their knees, kicking up a burst of dust.

"Female..." The three people uttered their voices in unison, but they were so small that Zhao Xu couldn't hear them clearly, as if they were just howling in their throats.

Immediately afterwards, the three people hurriedly turned around and ran back to the depths of the forest.

It was as if there was a devil hiding among the three of Zhao Xu.

A creeping suspicion suddenly swept through the hearts of the three of them.

"This scene is very similar to the kind where after an avalanche occurs while climbing, several friends tell the girl that her boyfriend was killed. And the girl's boyfriend suddenly appears and tells her that in fact, everyone was killed and he was the only one who survived. In the end, the girl chooses to believe Whose vulgar story.”

Ying looked at the poor performance of the three people with a mocking expression and said.

And Lu also smiled gently at this time, "I believe that the wind and the shadow are real living people."

Zhao Xu looked into the distance angrily.

Needless to say, this suspicious technique is also a routine that Lei An is accustomed to.

He doesn't need to believe it, just prick a needle first.

"Then let's decipher the stone tablet first." Zhao Xu said. He felt that it would be better to resolve some matters as soon as possible.

At this time, the three of them were squatting next to each other in front of the stone tablet, looking at the mysterious symbols below that were difficult to identify.

Generally, when encountering this kind of situation, on earth, you just throw the unknown content up to x degree.

As for Zhao Xu and other Arthur mages, they connect to the source of knowledge to conduct tests.

It's just that the connection process this time involved gambling on probability, so none of the three people interpreted it rashly.

"Is it language?" Zhao Xu guessed.

There are only dozens of common languages in Arthur.

However, there are many less popular and remote languages, and even languages from other diverse worlds.

Just like there are hundreds of languages on the earth, there are just not many variations.

"It's definitely not the dozens of mainstream ones." Ying said with certainty after observing the inscription.

"I have a first-level spell scroll of 'Language Comprehension' in my hand, which you can use to read it." Lu Ze added, "But I don't think this structure is like a language."

Zhao Xu also knows the language proficiency spell, which allows people to understand and understand languages they don't originally know. It is equivalent to using a first-level spell to achieve the effect of a universal translator.

As for being able to speak it yourself, this requires the level 2 spell of Eloquence.

"Then let's conduct the occult knowledge test first?" Zhao Xu looked at the symbols on the stone tablet. He seemed to have some impression, but he couldn't remember it. In the end, he could only give this suggestion.

"Our current level of occult knowledge and skills is not enough." Ying continued to emphasize.

Although she has about the same level of knowledge (mystery) as the two of them, she has learned the most solidly.

A genius with a photographic memory will never suffer any loss.

"That's true for one person, but there are three of us. We can report our own data and then provide our own backup means. In this way, if we focus on one person, we may be able to change our destiny." Lu said happily. .

When Zhao Xu heard it, it was indeed not bad.

Now that players hear about backup methods, they must be scratching their heads, wondering where the backup comes from.

But the three of them are different.

"Knowledge (mystery) level 5, +6 intelligence adjustment." Shadow said first.

Zhao Xu looked at Ying carefully and looked at the figure. It was too much for humans to have this attribute.

+6 intelligence adjustment means that Ying's intelligence is now 22. Even if Ying's talent points were initially allocated to 18 intelligence points, it means that she is still 4 points higher than other players.

An intelligence hood with +4 intelligence? That's a bit extravagant, not to mention that this thing is under strict control.

He determined that Ying could only have a +2 intelligence piece of equipment at most.

Among the initial races, elves only improve agility and reduce physical fitness.

Where did the remaining 2 points of intelligence come from

Zhao Xu looked at Yingde's body and thought.

It wasn't until he recalled the color of Ying's eyes that he suddenly realized something.

In this world, he is not the only one with a test number.

It seems that he met a player with a test account of a special race. Judging from the opponent's body shape and performance, he is probably one of those powerful hidden human subspecies.

Zhao Xu could only sigh. When the genius and the test account were combined, it felt like a reborn person like him was a little weak.

"Knowledge (mystery) level 5, +5 intelligence adjustment." Lu continued.

Zhao Xu finally sounded like this condition was quite satisfactory.

However, Zhao Xu is still a little strange. He relies on the field of knowledge to smoothly and quickly improve his knowledge and skills. Even so, because he just came back from the adventure, he is still stuck at level 4.

I really don’t know how the two female mages acquired such full-level mysterious knowledge.

Zhao Xu's knowledge level alone is enough to crush the majority of players.

According to statistics from the forum, at least two-thirds of the mage players who have officially graduated have no level 1 in mystical knowledge and skills, because not everyone has the perseverance to continue studying in the game.

There are very few people who can reach level 2 in knowledge (mystery).

As for other less popular knowledge and skills, even less people pay attention to them.

"Knowledge (mysterious) level 4, +3 intelligence adjustment." Seeing the two women waiting for him, Zhao Xu had no choice but to say it.

He just suddenly felt that his level 2 mage was a bit watered down.

However, after the data came out, the results were obvious. After the shadow was superimposed, knowledge (mystery) had a +10 bonus, while Zhao Xu had the lowest bonus of +7.

"What about the start?" Ying asked inquiringly.

"Wait a minute, there's a surprise." Lu then continued to take out her writing sack, which was actually a dimensional bag of magic items. She took out a small book made of silver and handed it to the two of them.

"This is the 'World Memory Volume'. If you read it for one minute, you can get +5 performance in the next knowledge check." Lu said.

Zhao Xu looked at the silver pamphlet in his hand and was speechless. He felt that the mages who had studied so hard were not worth it.

"Is this the booklet that has three opportunities a day to increase the performance bonus of knowledge and skills?"

Ying, who has a collecting habit, took it and looked at the cover of the small book in surprise.

For Ying, owning these books with various magical abilities is simply the happiest thing in the world.

"In this case, my mysterious knowledge skill can reach 15 points."

At this time, Ying also began to look at the stone tablet with confidence.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Xu also said at this time, "Give me your intellectual turban first."

When Ying heard Zhao Xu's request, she raised her eyebrows at him, but she didn't stop. She reached into the hood, took off her "intelligence scarf" that could increase intelligence, and handed it to Zhao Xu.

This also caused Ying's hair, which was originally tied up, to spread out.

After Zhao Xu took it, he pulled out a black spool directly from his backpack pocket.

After he learned all the first-level spells, Antinoya directly threw him a bag of spell materials, and then Zhao Xu poured them all into the side pocket of his backpack, taking them as needed and replenishing them regularly.

After taking out the material, Zhao Xu twisted the spool and the scarf together, and then took the scarf and began to swing the casting posture as required.

This spell is also one of the few that does not require a spell.

About six seconds later, the spell bits in Zhao Xu's mind were directly converted into energy, which was poured into the headscarf through the black spool.

"Take it. If you take it to test, you can get an additional +3 environmental bonus." Zhao Xu said.

At this time, both Lu and Ying were slightly dazed by his action.

"How come I haven't heard of this kind of magic?" Ying asked in surprise.

"There are a lot of things you don't know." Zhao Xu smiled.

According to records, this spell actually came from other multidimensional worlds. It was spread to Arthur's world by the archival scholar who first arrived, and it has been kept secret ever since.

This also leads to the fact that not many mages know this mage spell.

"Sure enough, those who remain silent mostly hide their secrets." Ying also began to look at Zhao Xu with admiration.

Lu also praised: "Feng, you are able to copy and master so many spells in such a short time. It is indeed rare."

Talent is generally not terrible, but if you can spend a huge amount of energy to copy a huge amount of spells with average talent, this kind of person will also be respected as a hard-working genius.

Hearing the unknown compliments from the two female mages, it was hard for Zhao Xu to expose himself.

Most ordinary mages spend 24 hours learning a spell. If you are a wise spellcaster or have high knowledge, skills, and spell recognition skills, you can compress it a bit more, but it still takes at least six to twelve hours.

In other words, Zhao Xu stood in the mysterious space beyond the scope of the artifact in the final scroll, learning spells one by one every minute.

Even so, he still learned those three hundred spells for more than five hours.

So at first, Ying whispered the spell called "Resuscitation" to Lu, which was more like treating a dead horse as a living horse, just giving a direction.

At this time, Ying also began to patiently flip through the "Memory of the World Volume".

However, only a few seconds passed before Ying closed the book and handed it back to the female mage Lu.

"Don't you want one minute?" Zhao Xu asked.

"No, if your knowledge and skills are level five, it only takes a few seconds."

Ying said simply, her eyes completely focused on the stone tablet.

Ying's right hand traced the scratches on the stone tablet all the way down, and began to feel the age rings on it, and used it as a lever to start leveraging the power of the origin of knowledge.

After hearing what Ying said, Zhao Xu's evaluation of the booklet improved a lot. If it can be used in a short time, it will have strategic value.

It is barely comparable to his "Song of Knowledge" spell.

However, after a while, Ying showed a confused look, and she said with a hint of annoyance: "I failed. I almost missed it, but I should still have a chance."

"Lu, then I can only let you try it." Ying said, passing the headscarf blessed by Zhao Xu.

Lu shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "No chance. In fact, the one just now was the third chance for this book. It will be restored tomorrow."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

"Then let me do it." Zhao Xu smiled toothily.

For a mage with spell slots, anything is possible.

Sorry, I can only update 2 times at work today. The next update will be before 12 o'clock.

I will continue with 3 updates tomorrow, and I will definitely guarantee an average of 8k updates in two days.
